Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Due to their size, commercial trucks can cause serious damage to passenger vehicles in a crash, and often result in serious injuries. While the driver has a responsibility to exercise caution and obey traffic laws, certain factors outside the driver’s control may lead to an accident. At Justice Law Office, we can analyze your situation and help determine who is liable for the crash.
Common causes of truck accidents include:
- Equipment failure
- Improper truck maintenance
- Hazardous weather conditions
- Distracted or drunk driving
- Driver fatigue
- Inadequate training
- Road construction
- Overloading or unsecured cargo
Unsafe driving practices of truckers can also cause an accident. These include following a vehicle too closely, making unsafe lane changes, failing to check blind spots, failing to use signals, and speeding. Drivers of passenger vehicles also have a responsibility to obey traffic rules to avoid a wreck. They may cause an accident by driving in a truck’s blind spot, trying to pass unsafely on a two-lane road, failing to allow for wide turns, and abruptly changing lanes in front of a truck.
